Why does Naeem Islam bat so low? Chucked a bit of money on him to top score @ 23

$23? That's awesome odds, he was only $6.50 on the site I was looking on. I think he'll come in next by the way, batted 4 last test so it would be silly for him to drop down the order after making his maiden century.

That's good news. Seems like bet365 are going off the cricinfo lineup or something.

You did well as he is now at $6.50. Even if he doesn't top score, its a very smart bet - I would have probably bet on Tamim, Shakib as bankers and then included Naeem if I knew he was paying $23. I have no funds in my bet365 account.

Haha I really hope I do too. Have a bit on Shakib @ 6 as well so if he clicks I'll be happy.

I've had a bit of luck in the past with this, remember putting $1-2 on Philander @49 to top score against England and he actually pulled it off, top scoring alongside Duminy. If only I had put in $10 or so but I'll take it
